Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 39:, Dad, Can You Climb Buildings with Bare Hands?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Having experienced much upheaval at home and having seen his father bury younger people far too many times, he had grown used to partings of life and death. This had led him to take a more detached view of life and the world, not taking anything too seriously or too much to heart.

Whether it was pretending to be Ye Xingbei’s husband or offering to be Ye Yiyang’s father, it was all on a whim – a casual suggestion. He saw it as a way to rid himself of the mundane side of life by engaging in some random mischief. If it turned out to be fun, he’d do more of it. If not, they would part on good terms.

But now, being stared at by the pure, trusting eyes of the little one, he felt a spontaneous strong surge of emotion.

He wanted to protect this child’s purity and trust.

He longed for this child to always look at him with that same clean, trusting gaze.

He hoped the child would never uncover the shoddy lie of the day and would always live happily in the world that he had fabricated, naively believing in every aspect of it as he grew older.

Holding this child, he felt he was going slightly overboard.

Now he could see why everybody loved children.

Clean, adorable children could easily purify people’s hearts.

He had always despised naughty children. Even relatives and friends’ children, he refused to hold them.

But now having held one for just a few minutes, he had been purified by this child.

Beauty must have really mattered in this case, right?

The child in his arms was indeed beautiful: rosy lips, white teeth, big eyes, long eyelashes, a skin so delicate it seemed breakable upon touch, and delicate features that were as beautiful as a painted work of art.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

Who could resist such a beautiful child?

He seriously suspected that Director Ye was not as noble and kind as he had imagined.

Perhaps the reason he adopted the child was that he simply fell for the charm of the lovely, snow-white child. That’s why he didn’t bother about Bai Mengluan’s intricate plan and adopted the child!

Little Ye Yiyang extended his soft, little hands and firmly held Gu Junzhu’s face, his soft and sweet voice cooing, “Daddy, you’re so handsome!”

Gu Junzhu caressed his little face, “Darling Xiaoshu is very handsome too!”

Hearing his father call him darling, Ye Yiyang’s eyes twinkled with laughter. He asked, holding his face, “Daddy, do you love Xiaoshu?”

Gu Junzhu: “Of course I do!”

Liking pretty and intelligent children is a natural instinct that ensures successful human reproduction.

Anyone who didn’t like a smart, beautiful child like Xiaoshu would definitely not be human!

Ye Yiyang, pleased as punch, said, “Mommy told me you don’t call Xiaoshu and Mommy because strict rules where you work don’t allow it!”

“Mommy is correct!” Gu Junzhu shot Ye Xingbei a glance, thinking to himself that she was rather earnest, fabricating a special job for Xiaoshu’s imaginary father.

Indeed, some special jobs don’t allow their workers to contact their families.

Ye Yiyang opened pandora’s box and began the endless “why” questions: “Daddy, is your job hard?”

“Yes, it’s tough!” he nodded, smiling as he responded, “But it’s fulfilling, and it has meaning.”

“Daddy, are the uncles who work with you super cool? Like Spider-Man, can they climb buildings bare-handed?”

Gu Junzhu: “…Not as good as Spider-Man, but with professional tools, it’s indeed possible.”

After all, Spider-Man also needs webs, so why can’t ordinary people use a rope?

Daddy, can you climb buildings with your bare hands?”
